Manual assembly
Work in assembly industry typically consists of short stages performed quickly and consecutively. Therefore ergonomics is very important. Production lines are designed according to the product and process. However since the product life cycles are short, the lines must be constantly updated. Work is often performed in an EPA area protected from static electricity. Material flows are substantial, and production efficiency can be improved by optimizing them.
The most important thing is to find a complete solution, not just single workstations or transfer units. Our products are ideal for the next-generationn logistic companies with an assembly or a packing process or any industry with an assembly process.

the sun isn't shining but my gradient is!
I've gotta keep my nails sunny, even if the sky isn't!
Woohoo! Summery gradient!
Me and some friends all decided to do gradients on this lovely Friday, and here's what I came up with.
My color combo was inspired by one of my "nail crushes" - Ivana Thinks Pink. There's nothing she does that I don't like! Seriously. Ivana, quit being so awesome!
She did this mani using China Glaze Peachy Keen and Orly Fancy Fuchsia. Hot damn, I need Fancy Fuchsia. Why don't I have it?! Jeez. I NEED IT! Her nails were glowing. Amazing.
I used the same peach - China Glaze Peachy Keen.
I tried to substitute Zoya Lo for the pink but it just doesn't look quite so hot.
It's still pretty though!
But one day I will redo the mani... Whenever I find myself Fancy Freakin' Fuchsia.
To do this gradient, I tried the new gradient tutorial that is sweeping the blog world, from The Nailasaurus.
But, I couldn't get that to work... At all. It just was not showing up with these colors.
So I went in and did it the way I'm used to, which you can see in my older tutorial here.
But I still wanted the flawless blended look you can get from the newer way, so I ended up doing that on TOP of the gradient that I did my way. And that turned out magical! It blended the colors seamlessly.
After that, I stamped the floral pattern from Konad plate m65. It's almost like a Hawaiian shirt! Haha, I love it.
I'm was going to submit this in Kayla Shevonne's Nail Art Contest but then I realized you can't stamp for her contest. Damn!
If you haven't checked out her contest already, hurry! There's just less than 12 hours left to enter.
I hope you guys enjoy this mani! I'm going to be doing lots of gradients again because I just love them and it's been too long since I've done them! I think I might even do another one later today. Woohoo!

|Up a level
Motivated by the observation that exchange-rate management resembles market-making, we use microstructure theory to conduct a welfare analysis of exchange-rate management, including the "corner solutions" of a free float and a fixed peg. We show that a policy that smoothes out exchange-rate fluctuations needs to trade off the welfare gain due to lower risk exposure of local producers against the trading losses that the policy would generate due to speculation. We identify the conditions under which exchange-rate management can increase welfare and argue that these conditions are more likely to be satisfied in illiquid markets, mainly small economies and emerging markets. We also explore the role of a Tobin tax (assuming enforceability) in facilitating exchange-rate management.

The FEI Growth Series is a unique opportunity for finance executives to meet and connect with some of the most senior and experienced CFOs in the market who will share their expertise and insights over an intimate lunch setting. It also provides access to an unparalleled network of CFOs and finance leaders.
"After every lunch meeting I feel that I've been given some new insight into how others would deal with similar situations to those I have faced and it has helped me to identify potential pitfalls for the future."
Thomas Delbosc, Group Manager Finance and Accounting, MAB Corporation
"The FEI Growth Series was the perfect platform to benchmark our business and gain helpful hints to improve our performance. It was also a great opportunity to enhance my CFO network and hear from some of the most experienced CFOs from some of the largest companies in Australia."
Gabriel Tesser, Chief Financial Officer, Volgren Australia
What is the program?
- Two lunch events attended by 3-4 senior CFOs who will lead a conversation around career advancement and other topical issues
- Two seminars tailored for finance executives on conduct in the finance team and how to ask strategic questions
- Unique peer group of finance executives meeting in a relaxed setting for lunch and focused discussion
- With a limited number of participants, there will be opportunity for round-the-table discussion of issues with the presenting CFO and peers
August 2018: Conduct in the Finance Team Seminar
November 2018: CFO Insights Seminar—four senior CFOs lead a discussion on successful career development with tips and insights from their own career.
February 2019: CFO Insights Seminar—three/four senior CFOs share their insider tips on a range of issues including investor relations, capital raising, talent management and working with board.

Who is the program designed for?
Finance executives in large companies as well CFOs of mid-tier companies and their direct reports. Participants can appoint a colleague to attend a particular lunch in their place. As FEI runs a limited Mentoring Program (limited by the number of mentors available), the Growth Series is an opportunity for finance executives to network with senior CFOs as well as expand their peer network.
A mid-tier company is indicatively a company with a turnover between $50-500 million but this is not definitive. Companies can be privately-owned, listed, not-for-profit, government owned, partially-owned subsidiary or an investment of a larger listed company or a subsidiary of an overseas company.
What are the fees and what do they cover?
$800 (+GST) for members, non-members will need to take out membership as FEI is a member-based organization. The membership fee is $175 (+GST).
Fees are payable on registration and cover attendance at four lunches. Members can also buy lunches individually for $250 (+GST) per lunch.
We offer a 20 per cent discount to the Growth Series Porgram to Alumni of the FEI Mentoring Program.
If any program changes prove to be necessary we will notify participants at the earliest opportunity. We are working to secure exact dates for the program and will ensure participants have plenty of notice.
Other activities as FEI members
FEI is a not-for-profit member association for CFOs and finance leaders. Joining the group gives you access to an unparalleled CFO network, discounted prices to FEI lunches, access to member-only events and to the FEI Academy—an online portal of CFO insights.

News and views on the latest health issues
We've all been told for years about the dangers of too much tanning. But now experts are saying that too little sun can cause serious problems.
A few decades ago, holidaymakers thought nothing of basking for hours in the hottest part of the day in order to acquire a mahogany tan. Sun lotions, if used at all, were applied purely to promote faster bronzing. Then the bad news about skin cancer sent many people scurrying for shade.
Now, some say that we have overdone the caution, as increasing numbers of people are suffering from a deficiency of vitamin D, 80 per cent of which we obtain from the sun.SunSmart, the UK's skin cancer prevention campaign, used to counsel that everyone must stay in the shade between 11am and 3pm. It has now altered that advice to the much more vague "spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm". "We are an evidence-based campaign that is constantly responding to new findings," says SunSmart's campaign manager Rebecca Russell. Ongoing research shows there are lots of benefits of sun exposure and negative health outcomes linked to vitamin D deficiency."However, it is also true that excessive sun exposure is directly linked to skin cancer. This is increasing and we expect the warmer weather and higher UV levels we are experiencing to have a direct effect on the number of skin cancer cases."Tanning may look attractive but it is also a bad sign, says Nina Goad of the skin disease research charity, the British Skin Foundation. "While many people associate a tan with looking healthy, a tan is actually a sign that our skin is already harmed by UV radiation and is trying to defend itself against further damage," she says. "This kind of damage can in turn increase your risk of developing skin cancer."Vitamin D is essential for cell growth, but it is hard to get all we need from the diet because it is present in relatively few foods. Sunlight enables the body to synthesise vitamin D but this can only occur in the summer because the UK's latitude means the sun is too far away during winter to provoke the chemical reaction that produces the vitamin.
There are certainly signs that vitamin D deficiency is increasing. One study of women in the final month of pregnancy who were living in the South-east – the sunniest part of the country – showed 50 per cent had inadequate supplies. Other research suggests that 15 to 20 per cent of adults in the UK had sufficiently low vitamin D stores to be very likely to experience pains and muscle aches.What's more, experts have found that some groups are at higher risk of deficiency, such as older people who make vitamin D less efficiently than young people; those with dark skins whose pigment blocks the absorption of UV radiation; the housebound; and those who cover up for health, cultural or religious reasons. Just to add to the confusion, smothering yourself in sunscreen can add to the problem, as anything stronger than factor 8 blocks the skin's ability to make vitamin D."There is a major unrecognised epidemic of vitamin D deficiency in the US and UK adult population," says Michael Holick, Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics at Boston University Medical Centre."Chronic deficiency has subtle and insidious consequences for health and wellbeing – in particular for older people. For example, 40 to 60 per cent of people with the musculoskeletal disorder, fibromyalgia, are deficient in vitamin D, as are 63 per cent of women with osteoporosis," he says.As well as osteoporosis, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a higher risk of some cancers, notably prostate, breast and bowel – though the evidence is not yet conclusive – and to an increased risk of developing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.However, anybody tempted to boost their vitamin D levels by prolonged sun exposure should bear in mind that the dangers we've been told sunbathing can bring do still exist. Each year, more than 75,000 cases of skin cancer are registered in the UK, with more than 1,700 people dying from malignant melanoma."Up to 80 per cent of skin cancers could be prevented by being sun smart," says Rebecca.The amount of exposure you need to obtain adequate levels of vitamin D depends on your skin type (fair-skinned people synthesise the vitamin more easily than those with dark skins), the season of the year and the latitude. "What is certain is that the time in the sun required to tank up your vitamin D levels is much less than the time it takes to tan or burn," says Rebecca.Dr Peter Selby, a consultant physician specialising in bone disease at Manchester Royal Infirmary, offers this advice: "By exposing your face, hands and forearms to the sun without burning for 20 minutes three times a week, when your shadow is shorter than your height, you will get enough of the right rays to make sufficient vitamin D to see you through the year."Brownie points: Stay safe in the sun by using some sun senseAvoid getting burnt. This is possibly the most important single piece of advice for sun lovers, according to the experts. "Burning can greatly increase your chances of developing skin cancer and the effect is cumulative, so the fewer times you burn, the better," says Rebecca Russell of SunSmart. Sunscreens should be treated as a medical necessity rather than a cosmetic luxury but it's important not to over-rely on them. "Don't use sunscreen in the belief that you can stay out longer in the sun," says Nina Goad of the British Skin Foundation. "Treat it more as a way of protecting your skin when sun exposure is unavoidable." People in the UK should wear sunscreen from March to the end of October. So says Dr Nick Lowe, consultant dermatologist at the Cranley Clinic, London, and professor of dermatology at UCLA School of Medicine in California. His advice is to use it on the face, arms, ears, neck and exposed parts of the upper chest. Choose a waterproof, broad-spectrum lotion or cream. This protects against UVB and UVA rays. Always apply it generously, rub it in lightly 30 minutes before going into the sun and reapply every couple of hours. "Factor 15+ offers the best balance between protection and price," says Rebecca. "Anything over that will only increase the protection level by a small amount." Store sunscreens out of direct sunlight. Also use before the sell-by date as the active ingredient can degrade after about two years. In a survey of sunscreens carried out by Which? magazine last year, factor 15 products by Ambre Solaire, Lancôme, L'Oréal and Piz Buin came out best. Older people should take as much care of their skins as anybody else, counsels Dr Lowe. "There is a mistaken belief that there is no point in protecting your skin if the damage has been done. But this is absolutely not the case and you should be particularly careful if you have fair skin or a family history of skin cancers." And if you're worried about your skin, the resounding advice is: see an expert. Treatment is more straightforward and survival rates higher when skin cancer is diagnosed early. So, if you notice new moles or an old mole changes shape, grows, bleeds or becomes itchy for no reason, then arrange to see a dermatologist. Says Dr Lowe: "Studies show that dermatologists are more accurate at diagnosing skin cancers than doctors in primary care and other physicians."

AKA: Zirk
DOB: June 18
Born: New Haven, Conn.
Resides: Earth…Kailua-Kona, Hawaii to be exact.
Height: 5'7
Weight: 120
Stance: Goofy
Sponsors: Kaenon Polarized, San Lorenzo Bikini, Susan Knight Photography, Carve Clothing, and Walker Surfboards.
Shaper: Mike Walker, of The Walker Project. He's based out of California and has a really amazing understanding about high performance boards in all waves. His boards took me to the next level when I was surfing in Florida, and I'm excited to get a new batch! He's very in tune with the surfer and the board. It helps that he's a surfer himself as well as an amazing artist that can understand all sides of what I love to do. I'm thankful and lucky for him, and his boards!
Magic Stick: Their all magic in their own way...I don't really get attached to things, including boards, but I find myself more curious, testing new boards, new ideas I find myself finding a little attachment to particular ones. Just as long as I have something to ride I'm happy!
Training Ground: Anywhere there is waves. Haven't been surfing too long, but for the majority of my surfing, I surfed some perfect waves in St. Augustine Beach Florida, Sebastian Inlet, Reef Road, and pretty much anywhere in Florida and Puerto Rico. But basically everywhere is training grounds. In and out of the water all things relate to surfing/art in one way or another and are the biggest staples of my life. Everything that goes on in my life is focused/scheduled around surf. Any condition, I just love being in the ocean, it doesn't judge, keeps you humble at all times, and if you don't know what your doing it will teach you a thing or two so you learn.
Favorite Wave: I love them all...a few places come to mind but I'm not gonna blast em'.
Favorite Maneuver: Personally, I love surfing backside...backside snaps...but watching other people surf I would go for clean power snaps and or airs(which I hope one day to figure out)!!!
Inspirations: Well firstly Rell Sunn whom has been a provider in more ways then I ever imagined in my life this past two years, my amazing and legendary boyfriend Sam, who pushes me and believes in my every move, my father who raised two kids while he was still a kid with no money or a place to go, my brother for growing up at the age of 4 to take care of his baby sister, my entire family of course, all the people who DID NOT believe in me, and all the people who DO believe in me, my dog who shows me how to truly love and to live, and for the people who stood by my side through this last year. It's inspiring to know that are are people out there who still can think for themselves, can live outside of comfort, and can see people for who they. I'm inspired by the people who have an undying, confidence in them-self no matter who is looking or judging. I'm inspired by the fact that lies always come out, good always prevails, and with hard work/love for everything around you really does pay off. I'm inspired by the people who are what they say, and live with out feat of fitting in or living to please others to get what they want out of life. No reward needed, just love because it's in their nature. I'm inspired by those who know they can do anything, and bring noting but positive power to the world through their work, talents, and beautiful spirit. <3 And after the last 5 years of my life, I inspire myself because I helped myself out of the dark, stayed positive and TRUE to myself, and through the most uncomfortable times when I felt totally alone, I knew that one day, just as my character would grow and I would find my dreams regardless to the obstacles put before me. I learned how to be my best friend and to be more compassionate to my feelings and what I was going through. I gain unbreakable wisdom that sits deep within me comfortable, peaceful, and untouchable. No one, no opinion, no lies, no nothing can take that away from me and the impact that has on my life, my surfing, and my artwork. The power in knowing, the power in understanding, and the power of becoming wiser for the positive growth of life is the most rewarding prize one can receive from the earth…next to love, and waves!!!
Favorite Quote: "All Wars are won in the heart."
Upcoming Projects: I'm working with several people this year on amazing projects that I am so excited about. You can look on my website zirk.me for upcoming surf and art projects such as, my work being featured in "Surf Stories", work with Susan Knight Studios, Dana Richardson, the Dana Mermaid, San Lorenzo, Kaenon Polarized, Womens Surf Style Magazine, Hawaii Island Surfing Association, and a few art shows around the world!

On Thursday, Barry Manilow became a social media trending topic when reports that he was admitted to the hospital in Los Angeles following a Memphis concert hit the web. The pop singer-songwriter, who performed before more than 10,000 fans last Friday at Sunrise's BB&T Center on his One Last Time! Tour, was flown to the hospital after suffering complications following oral surgery he underwent Monday. Several concert dates were postponed.
The official statement from publicist Victoria Varela on Friday afternoon should prove encouraging to fans:
"Barry is out of surgery and doing well. His doctors report that the surgery was successful and they expect no further complications. For the next 48 hours, Manilow has been instructed not to talk, sing, or rap.
"Barry thanks everyone for their well wishes and concern."
And no, Fanilows, Manilow isn't working on rapping. Just a bit of doctor's bedside humor. The songwriter is, however, working on a new album he says will be a mix of standards and originals. The theme: his birthplace New York.

I believe we are at least 2 betas away from being stable enough -- OCSP stapling has a few nasty bugs, and I'm running into problems with socache on FreeBSD 8. I guess those are things to add to STATUS I think that we should just encourage everyone to not drop big features into trunk without some discussion...

(Blueberry inspiration. What got this topic started.)
For this entry, I, Mikey am merely the typist. Sunshine and Grant settled down for a chat and this is a rough transcript of their discussion. A little background however. At Sunshine's visits to our home a few routines have emerged. Generally Sunshine and I do some craft, some cooking, something fun. Over time, Grant has emerged as a master of a certain craft, that is the craft of dessert. Sunshine and I have talked about this evolution of the skill of feeding the stomach and the heart, so to speak, and even wondered at times if it also falls into the category of Art. But perhaps that is a discussion for another time.
Sunshine: What is your true identity and how did you come to this? (In Sunshine's notes Grant is described as a 6 foot tall person who is a "sweet guy" who goes by Dessert Whisperer. Awwww. editorial comment.)
Grant: I am known as the Dessert Whisperer. We watched that Dog Whisperer guy on TV one night and I thought, hey, that's what I do! You have to watch what the person needs, and remember that there is no problem meal, rather it is a matter of close observation and letting the solution for the best dessert emerge.
Sunshine: What is the best creation you have come up with?
Grant: That's not easy to answer, there are so many levels to this craft. But, oh well, gotta go with CHEESECAKE! Strawberry, chocolate, blueberry, New York, there is so much to explore. (Not a surprise here. editorial comment.)
Sunshine: My favourite is CHEESECAKE too, but another favourite you made is a large butter tart, warmed up with fancy vanilla ice cream on it. Where did you learn this craft?
Grant: From my mommy! I learned at the age of three, when the sweet tooth fairy paid a visit and collected some teeth. (three??? editorial comment.)
Sunshine: What's your motto?
Grant: Extra sweet and lots of it! Should I get a t-shirt printed up?
Sunshine: Can I be your apprentice?
Grant: Sunshine, you already are!

Peyroux, Olivier (2013) "Délinquants et Victimes : la traite des enfants d'Europe de l'Est en France", Non Lieu
Friday 26 September 2014
The book named « Delinquents and victims : Eastern Europe children trafficking in France » written by the sociologist Olivier Peyroux and Caritas Price-Winner – France Institute 2013, brings a new and yet original approach of the human trafficking theme-based, one that supports protection of minors caming from Eastern Europe and victims of the human traffic in France. Olivier Peyroux reveals the complexity of the phenomenon. The author highlights the obvious strategies implemented by the traffickers to keep practicing their influence on their victims. Often, traffickers use persuasion by blackmailing their victims, reminding them the costs of "recruiting" them, pressuring victims by controlling their minds and challenging their families relationships, as criminal networks are, too many often, based on family bonds, real or fake, and tends to increase the faithfulness of the human trafficking victims. The potential willpower to get out of this situation, staging a demonstration by many of the victims of the human trafficking, is exploited by traffickers, glittering the perspective of a better life abroad. Those victims often develop loyalty when assured to be promoted by becoming future recruiter to « educate » newer victims.
Olivier Peyroux points out that human trafficking is not a cultural topic. This traffic remains in different forms and different organized networks. His books also shows us what little means we have to support minors, victims of human trafficking. Politics often have a security approach, at the expense of helping victims, considered juvenile offenders. Punishing traffickers tends to take leads, opposed to protecting the victims

The 2016 Audi R8 has Been Spied Testing Yet Again
Earlier this year the 2016 Audi R8 was spotted testing at the Nurburgring in Germany, but was covered in camouflage, making it difficult to get a good look. Now the new R8 has been spied yet again, but this time without all of the camouflage as before, letting spy photographers get some of the best shots yet. What is certainly clear is that this second-generation Audi R8, while there will certainly be some changes and upgrades, will look similar to the current model.
Exterior Design
From the looks of the photographs, it appears that the new R8 will be longer and wider than previous edition. You'll notice that the 2016 model will feature more angular headlamps and taillamps, providing an assertiveness to the whole vehicle. If you're looking for differences between the current R8 and the next version, you'll be able to tell the two models apart by the 2016 R8's hexagonal grille.
Despite the fact that the 2016 Audi R8 seems to be longer and wider in statue, it is expected to be lighter in weight than the previous model, contributing to what should be better track performance.
A naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine that produces close to an astounding 600 hp will be the primary engine. Additionally, a 4.2L V8 engine that delivers approximately 450 hp will also be available for the new Audi R8. Regardless of which engine you choose it will be paired with a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. There won't be an available manual transmission with this next-generation model. It's expected that the 2016 R8 will have a top speed of 155 mph.
Audi will also offer an electric version of this car, the R8 e-tron, which is projected to deliver a driving range of 280 miles.
Arrival and Pricing
The next-gen Audi R8 is expected to be available to car buyers in early 2015 as a 2016 model year car. As far as pricing goes, you could see the 2016 R8 offered anywhere from $120K for the V8 model to over $250K for the electric e-tron version. Stop by your area Audi dealership to see the current R8 or to learn more about the 2016 Audi R8.
Discover the 2015 BMW X4 at the New York Auto Show
The success of the coupe-like crossover X6 surprised so many critics and automakers that many are rushing to release their own stylish crossover vehicle, but it looks like BMW has managed to beat them to the punch again with the 2015 BMW X4.
Debuting at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the X4 is built on the underpinnings of the X3 while targeting performance and style to put it head to head against competitors like the Range Rover Evoque, Lincoln MKC, and Porsche Macan.
What Does "Coupe-Like" Mean?
While the X4 certainly takes many aesthetic choices from the coupe body style popular with cars, BMW is still giving you a four-door crossover here. Instead of borrowing the two-door design, the X4 carries a smooth line design, a low sloping roof, and yet still offers room for three in the rear.
Put simply, rather than borrowing from the box-like build of old SUVs as many crossovers do, the X6 and X4 give you a sense of style and design instead of a sense of mere practicality.
Powertrain Options
Since the X4 is sharing a platform with the X3, it will also have similar engine options, including a 2.0L four-cylinder with 240 hp on the X4 xDrive28 model and the option for an upgraded 3.0L straight six turbocharged engine rated for 300 hp on the X4 xDrive35i.
Although the X3 has a rear-wheel drive option, each of the X4 models will have BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive as standard equipment, giving you total control over your new crossover.
A Delight for Car Fans Everywhere
One of the things that we simply love about the BMW brand is there ability to go above and beyond what is expected and deliver truly unbelievable vehicles. From the success of the X6 to what we can only assume will be incredible success of the upcoming X4, they seem to know what car fans what before even we do.
You can learn more about the 2015 BMW X4 at the 2014 New York International Auto Show, which runs from April 18th to the 27th at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, but rest assured that we'll let you know any major developments here too!

The three-piece Channellock GS-3 Tongue and Groove Plier Set is an essential for any garage or DIYer. Channellock's tongue and groove pliers are built to last with a PermaLock fastener to eliminate nut and bolt failure, patented reinforcing edge to minimize stress breakage and right angle, laser heat-treated teeth to provide a better, longer lasting grip. They're versatile, strong, and durable enough to pass down to your kids.
This set includes the 6-1/2-inch 426 plier, 9-1/2-inch 420 plier, and 12-inch 440 plier.
Channellock uses high carbon C1080 steel for superior performance on the job, and an electronic coating for ultimate rust prevention. The straight jaws provide maximum versatility for a number of different applications, and the unique undercut channels provide a stronger more secure grip, that won't slip on the job. They're completed by Channellock's iconic blue handle, which is both comfortable in your hand and easy to spot in your tool bag.

Royal Manuscript exhibition
Royal manuscripts catalogue

Is it worth getting? Are the manuscripts in the book not available via http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/searchMSNo.asp ? That and Vivarium are my main sources these days.
- 1:35 pm
- Merlyn said...
well personally I like having books so for me it was. I enjoy reading the text and descriptions and the quality of the images is really very good.( Though nothing like seeing the real thing)
I really like having books around to browse through and read up in. If all one wants are images and one can get them online then of course why bother buying a book at all? I couldn't say if they are all available online. There are 150 images in the book but I don't really have any desire to cross check.
So maybe for you it isn't worth it especially if you are concerned about costs and space and heavy books, which I certainly understand but for anyone who is interested in the catalogue of the exhibition, with all the explanations etc... buying it from Amazon in the UK saves money which was more why I posted the info.

Merlyn> Cheers. I'm trying to cut down on my book habit, simply because I have NO MORE SPACE--and it is a huge saving but still most of my food budget for a week, so if I can persuade myself I don't need a book, I honestly try to.
I might earmark it and see if it's still marked down when Xmas rolls around, though....
Thanks for replying.

There is also a paperback version and it too is less expensive on amazon. For those who don't want a hardback.

Question about Toshiba Computers & Internet
Posted by andyc5113 on
Absolutely perfect assist - simple instructions that gave a 100% fix.
is that the assist from Toshiba that comes with install? that would be through explore programs toshiba
find the icon for that program right click on it, and make a shortcut
drag it to the desktop
that is assuming that you can find it through explore.
If you have vista, go into the start menu and select "all programs." Scroll down to the "toshiba" folder and click once. Click "utilities" and under that is "toshiba assist." Right click it and select "pin to start menu." Go back to the main start menu and it will be near the top. Drag it onto your desktop. Then you can unpin it from the start menu by right clicking it and selecting "remove from this list." If this is a fix make sure to rate it as such. If not, post a comment explaining the problem and I will get back to you in a few minutes.

Met up with my lovely gal, Jaselin for afternoon tea yesterday. She got wind that i hadn't been feeling well lately so decided to asked me out for a cheer-me-ups, ain't that sweeet?!
She picked me up and brought me to this place, Wimbly Lu near Serangoon. I'd googled it previously and read pretty good reviews about this place and had already decided what i wanted to order before we reached!
Wimbly Lu's tucked away in a corner round Lorong Chuan in an estate of landed houses. It was quiet outside and had a dark exterior, and I couldn't quite see what's inside until i stepped in. It felt like i was in an aviary! I don't know why but normally air-conditioned cafes are sheltered, away from the sun but this one had glass doors and ceilings. The sun was really bright and shone right through the glass panels above and i liked the warmth but the sun was very reflective against the glass tables and that kinda hurt my eyes a little. The further end of the cafe was decorated with mismatched chairs, red paper hearts and lots of faux green grass patches that made the place feel more romantic and light-hearted.
Jaselin heard that they serve really yummy Molten Chocolate Lava so she ordered that for us to share and i ordered their Waffles with homemade Salted Caramel Icecream and Maple Syrup. So typical of me hahaha.
The Molten Chocolate Lava was served real hot and had a really smooth texture to it, it was a little too intense for my liking cos' i'm not a fan of dark chocolate but the chocolate was really runny and i really liked the rich gooey texture to it (minus the bitter aftertaste).
Perhaps it would've been better (for me) if i'd eaten it with some icecream to kind of even out the rich, bitter taste. But ah well, that didn't cross my mind at that time..
On the other hand.. I LOVED THEIR WAFFLES! Isn't it a beautiful shade of golden brown?! So light and crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. It tasted great on its own but even better with maple syrup and icecream! I'd go back for these any day of the week!
On the whole, i think this place's great for afternoon chill-outs, when the sun isn't scorching.. haha and the desserts we had were pretty good! So it's a 7/10 for me! :)

Probiotics for dogs is our topic of discussion this Dog Talk Tuesday so you know what they do, best time to give them for max benefit and how to choose them. (Like knowing which are dead and useless is helpful, don't you think?)
This is Jace. One of the many dogs I have been able to help. The beauty of youth and vitality just shine in this boy.
Probiotics have been big business for awhile now, yet some have no value and some have the power to help your dog right where it matters.
Of course I mean the gut and the immune system as well but how do they work?
Do you really know what they are? Of course you do, you just haven't really thought about it right? I'll tell you how I can say that. I know what they are. I use them all the time; I suggest them darn near every day of the year, and yet, somehow my mind went blank near the beginning of this talk. . . or did it?
Let's get started and you can be the judge.
You know I always talk about health from the inside out and here's a good example. I swear the last year especially I have become zeroed into the microbiome. A cool word that is all about guts. Yours, mine, the dogs and every one else's too.
Think of it this way, we are made up of 4 million distinct types of bacteria. Yes bacteria outnumbers our genes and our dog's genes 10 to 1. What that really means is that it takes bacteria for more things than I can count. Off the top of my head, there is digestion which we all know about, the releasing of energy needed by the body and producing the vitamins our dog need.
And that word again, microbiome. Think of it as a world of it's own that lives within us. That lives within our dogs and is just as important as the very genes. A balanced microbiome has bacteria that work together for the greater good. In other words, dog health.
And when it isn't balanced, there are certain outlaw microorganisms that run amuck, create havoc and cause a host of problems. Usually the easiest to spot from the symptoms they cause are the fungus among us; yeast.
Yeasty ears, dog skin breakouts, redness that can literally turn the skin black after a prolonged period with hair loss and a poor miserable dog who stinks to high heavens no matter how many baths he gets.
I truly hope you will share your dog's human grade probiotics so you both have a better microbiome. Now allow me to reiterate a bit from the video. Depending on when you give them to your dog they affect the body a bit differently.
When not to give Probiotics
The right probiotics for dogs are an excellent choice, especially when given with a few other key supplements. This is #3 of a special series. There will be one more plus an optional for those who want to cover every possibility. To view the previous posts, see what I call Captivating Colostrum and the The Magic of Enzymes.
Please read all the pages before you make the choices that best benefit your dog.
Can't wait? Get NSP's Probiotics Eleven now. Nature's Sunshine has made the Forbes List of top 100 Trusted Companies in America and there's a reason - Get two bottles for a discount and so you can share with the dog. Yes, we share supplements at my house every day.

You must purchase those products through me in order to get those amounts. If you are in Canada you must order through Sandra King's NSP website .

Hairdressing Negligence Claims
A trip to the hairdressers is part and parcel of our day-to-day routines and should never be a cause for concern when it comes to our health and well being. We expect to receive a professional service from a trained specialist, we certainly do not expect to leave a hair salon having sustained an injury or hair damage at the hands of a negligent hairdresser.
Hairdressing negligence not only results in physical damage, but can also cause emotional trauma and distress. Damage to your hair can have a devastating effect on your self-esteem and confidence, disrupting your everyday life.
Hairdressers are legally bound to meet certain regulations controlling the use, storage and disposal of chemical products, such as hair dye. Likewise, they are required to ensure that all electrical equipment is fit for use and is regularly tested under health and safety law. If these standards are not met, and you have suffered as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.
"Hairdressing negligence not only results in physical damage, but can also cause emotional trauma and distress"
The most common types of compensation claims include:
- Chemical burns or blistering.
- Damage to, or loss of hair.
- Contact with irritants causing dermatitis or allergic reactions.
- Cuts and injuries sustained by incorrect use of scissors or styling equipment.
- Hair extension damage.
These injuries can be caused by a number of reasons, including:
- Failure to complete a test patch before applying products.
- Using an incorrect product, or a product which is too strong for your hair type.
- Products incorrectly applied or leaving products on for too long.
- Incorrect use of instruments and equipment.
If you feel you have been affected by any treatment (or lack thereof) from a haircare professional, then for free no obligation advice call our specialist negligence team now on 0151 264 7363 or email us.

When Roald Dahl was a young writer, he would sell his stories to the New Yorker and with his fee, purchase a picture. A lull between publications and the income his stories secured meant that he would soon need to re-sell his pictures (even Dahl had peaks and troughs). But for a period in the late 40s, the likes of Matisse, Cézanne and Renoir – whose works could be purchased cheaply at that time – were pinned to the walls of his writing hut (which is, incidentally, a little masterpiece unto itself).
Philip Pullman, recently described to the Guardian the wonder he felt in viewing Monet's The Four Trees in real life: 'I pity anyone who didn't feel a shock of delight at seeing that grid of dark lavenders over pale blue and gold.' Pullman's emphatic response to the detail in Monet's paintings mirrored my own response to Pullman's books. The descriptions of his protagonist, Lyra, using her subtle knife and alethiometer (her golden and very covetable truth-telling compass) in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy calcified for me what words could do when handled like a master – just as Pullman seems to bow to the technique of Monet's brushwork.
I like the idea of not always being academic in response to art; often I only remember small details from books or paintings, insignificant parts like a character making a cup of tea, or the colour palette of a painting, but nothing of the form or subject. It's these details that stick and influence, despite being, a lot of the time, inconsequential.
A writer I know, now in his seventies and living in Queensland, was visiting Melbourne recently and was looking forward to viewing one of his favourite works of art, ever, at the National Gallery of Victoria. I can't recall the artist now, but when he couldn't find the painting he was disappointed – he had last viewed the work decades earlier at a high, and creatively fruitful, point in his writing career. This particular work of art was a muse, of sorts, for his creativity, and I suppose he wanted to be reminded of that.
As part of their Winter Masterpieces series, the NGV is exhibiting a collection of Monet's paintings inspired by his garden. After seeing five paintings from Monet's Water Lilies series at the Chichu Art Museum in Japan a couple of years ago (and being struck down with awe), I'm worried I'll muddy their beauty and creative influence if I see them in a different setting.
Unlike Dahl, I only have two pieces of art on the wall in the room that I do most of my writing: a pair of black and white photo collages, Catch Part 1 and 2, by Melbourne-based photographer Benjamin Lichtenstein. In one, an empty stairwell with a window at the top, blown out by sunlight; and the other a studio space somewhere in Berlin, an empty vase placed on a ledge. The works were created after Lichtenstein found a poem on the ground in a subway station: Let Down Reliable by Agnes Dux. My two photo collages remind me of unfinished stories: they hint at traces of life, I'm never sure if I'm looking at the before or after of a moment. (This is very good for getting you thinking when staring down a blank page.) I suppose ultimately they remind me to keep on working. I wonder how different it would be to work beneath a Mattise or Cézanne?

Capture The Crowds Attention with this lovely contrasting gown featuring a classy and original design!
* Required Fields
Primavera Couture 1560 Dress by Primavera Couture is the epitome of luxury and opulence! This dark and sultry design is available in two dazzling color combinations: Black/Red and Nude/Charcoal. Both color versions would look stunning at either a Masquerade Ball or Gothic themed event!
Features: Dripping with high quality sequins, the jaw-dropping Primavera Couture 1560 Dress is regal and majestic. A high scoop neckline with thick, tank-style sleeves provides an attractive look while also feeling comfortable. The breathable stretch mesh fabric creates a slim-line silhouette that beautifully drapes over your figure, hugging your curves. A panel of semi-sheer illusion mesh decorated by swirling streams of beads covers your natural waistline, connecting the bodice and skirt of the dress. An ornate and dramatic pattern of sequins and beads creates a vine-like motif that dances across the entirety of this gown, with a vertical stripe running down the center of the front of the dress, giving way to a sexy center slit detail. The back is fully covered with a leaf-like shape that eludes to a cutout detail. Glistening from every angle and boasts a dazzling, unique design, this dress is sure to have all eyes on you!
Styling Tips: A dress this incredible calls for a beauty look that is up to par! Think voluminous curls pulled over one shoulder and a glossy red pout.

"Workers in small and medium-sized businesses spend half the work day on "necessary, yet unproductive tasks, including routine communications and filtering incoming information and correspondence," says a report from telephony company Fonality and research firm Webtorials. Other findings of the study, which surveyed employees in December 2010 and January 2011: Workers spend more than a third of their time (36 percent) trying to contact customers, partners or colleagues; find information, or schedule a meeting."

Weston Racing will be on track this weekend testing out some new items to see if they can step-up to the every increase tough field of Top Alcohol cars in Australia. We don;t expect any great numbers during this testing as its going to be a R & D day for the team to gather data for the coming season at the Perth Motorplex.
This data should help the team progress further in running consistant quick times this season, with maybe breaking the track record again and setting a new bench mark for the dragster class.
Please watch our Facebook site as this will be updated during the test on Saturday evening and Sunday with how the team is going.
Thanks again for your support and look forward to see you at the track this season.

[ Submitted for your consideration: Is this feller "right on" or has he gone too far? My reaction to the Argentine Jebbie's recent howler was quite similar to this writer's, vis-à-vis the boldened words, below. However, as incensed as I felt I did not contemplate recourse to corporal punishment – although Mundabor was speaking speculatively, not imperatively, and about a time BEFORE El Jorge was even made a bishop, so… ]
"Effective Christian witness is not about bombarding people with religious messages, but about our willingness to be available to others "by patiently and respectfully engaging their questions and their doubts as they advance in their search for the truth and the meaning of human existence" (BENEDICT XVI, Message for the 47th World Communications Day, 2013). We need but recall the story of the disciples on the way to Emmaus. We have to be able to dialogue with the men and women of today, to understand their expectations, doubts and hopes, and to bring them the Gospel, Jesus Christ himself, God incarnate, who died and rose to free us from sin and death. We are challenged to be people of depth, attentive to what is happening around us and spiritually alert. To dialogue means to believe that the "other" has something worthwhile to say, and to entertain his or her point of view and perspective. Engaging in dialogue does not mean renouncing our own ideas and traditions, but the claim that they alone are valid or absolute.
"The words above come from our Disgrace In Chief, Francis The Humble Wrecker, and the chap below is sorely missed. Let me explain why.
"The excerpt above is the umpteenth example of the way this man thinks. Note the way the man slowly works his way from an innocuous start to an outright heresy.
"In the first phase, he quotes Pope Benedict. It is clear that for Benedict you "engage" in order to patiently transmit the Truth you have, and your interlocutor hasn't. Very simple, and very true. Going on, the Emmaus reference still seems to reinforce the concept: listen first, and then administer the Truth as the medicine for the patient.
"Up to here it's all fine to my eyes. St. Paul discussed openly with the people of Athens, but he discussed with them because he had the Truth they needed to know, and they believed the lie that he wanted to destroy. Again, very simple.
"But would Francis stop at orthodoxy? You wish! Francis must always, always be the carrier of a new and different message, and make no mistake: this message will be either heretical or very strange. Always.
"In this case, our man shifts the ground in instalments, until he lands in his beloved Francisland, where there are no "excessive (sic) doctrinal securities", everyone is saved, and Christ is an embarrassment standing in the way of the understanding among the people.
"Firstly, we are told the "other" has something worthwhile to say, but Bergoglio does not take position about where the worth would lie. Yes, everyone may have something worthwhile to say. No doubt about that. But when he starts to go against Christian truth he is clearly talking rubbish, and he must be told so. This, Francis doesn't say, and his concept of evangelisation looks rather shaky already.
"Then, Francis says you must "entertain his or her" – notice here the PC use of masculine and feminine; but this could be the translator's fault – "point of view and perspective", basically inviting you to play Jew, Muslim, Buddhist or whatever with your interlocutor for the sake of "dialogue". "So, my dear Ahmed, you really think Christ is no more than a very smart and saintly guy? Interesting point, this! What an enriching perspective! Pray, give me some time to better absorb the point". This is no evangelisation anymore. This is appeasement already, and of the worst sort.
"Finally, he drops the bomb: you must not renounce your "ideas and traditions" (really? How very kind!), but you must renounce to the claim that they alone are valid or absolute!
"At this point, my dear reader, I suggest you re-read the entire passage again, and let the way this man thinks and works sink in your consciousness. Understand that this one here is either very, very evil or else very, very deluded; a man whose unlimited vanity leads him to continuously, continuously insult Christian truth for the sake of the edification of his own humble monument; or else, Francis is one just on the side of the Enemy, and who thinks Christianity is the problem and he is the solution. At the end of a short "progression" (actually, regression) you have been led not only to renounce to the vocal defence and promotion of the Truth, but to renounce to the concept of its truthfulness altogether!
"Francis' frontal attack to – or stubborn ignoring of – Catholicism is so blatant, it leaves one speechless. You must renounce to the claim that your "ideas and traditions" are valid and absolute! You have your truth, they have theirs! Already the use of words like "ideas and traditions" lets a thinking transpire according to which an underlying truth expresses itself with several traditions: the one expresses it with the Jewish ideas and tradition, the other with the Muslim ones, a third with the Hindu, a fourth with the Christian; but as a Christian, you must accept your stance has no absolute validity.
"It is a grave sin, they say, to slap a Pope in the face. In Bergoglio's case, this goes to show that someone should have done it, and he should have done it soundly and repeatedly, before he was made a bishop. Now it is, I am afraid, a tad too late. V II has made this bed, and we will have to lie in it.
"Whenever I read some antic of this man I am reminded of an immortal character in Alessandro Manzoni's I Promessi Sposi. Manzoni called him vecchio malvissuto, or "an old man who has lived his life badly".

Will other pupils be in the car with me?
NO! Unlike many schools, all our lessons are conducted on a one to one basis and you will not be sharing your lessons with other pupils.
There are many factors that determine how many lessons you will end up needing. Age, gender, attitude, personality and the ability to practise when not in lessons all contribute.
Are you a qualified instructor?
Yes. In order to conduct driving lessons on a professional basis, all instructors must be registered with the DIA.
Some schools use 'PDI's (practising driving instructors). These are registered instructors but who have not yet passed the final part of their instructors test. These will display a pink triangular sticker in the car window.
I am a fully qualified instructor and as such, display a green, hexagonal sticker in the car.
Can I have more than 1 lesson a week?
Of course you can. The less time between lessons will help you learn quicker as you will need to spend less time acclimatising yourself to the car each time. Please call to discuss availability.
Most pupils find it beneficial to have 2 hour lessons as this allowed more time to practice new things during our lesson time.
How will I know I'm ready to take my test?
We will keep track of your progress and discuss this with you as appropriate. We will let you know when we feel you are ready to start thinking about booking a test.
When should I take my Theory Test?
As soon as possible, and of course when you have practiced to make sure you will pass. You can not book your practical driving test until you have passed your Theory.
